French Soccer League Predictions and Discussion Thread (Ligue 1)

[Pulsar77]

PSG have started to play inconsistently for some weeks. I can see that they got three losses in their last five games in the league. They are still twelve points ahead of Marseille though and they won't most probably have big troubles about winning the Ligue 1 title at the end. But if they continue on their bad form for some more weeks, this could create an opportunity for the second team to catch up with them more. And even if PSG win the title, it would be a victory by a gap less than ten points. But as PSG have only the league left, they wouldn't make a big mistake surely.

Neymar is no longer young (for a long time  ), no doubt he will play for many years to come and will not fall below a certain level. But it seems that his peak sports career is behind him. Brazilian players are notorious for their instability and poor discipline, which is exactly what a player needs to be able to improve (or at least not play worse) after 30 years. If the news about his behavior is true then he will not be a good buy for any club.

Neymar's career as one of the best players actually dimmed when he left Barcelona for PSG. Ligue 1 wasn't one of the leagues I was interested in before, but since Messi has been there it's taken me some time to watch it.

To be honest I still hope that Neymar can return to Barcelona for a few more seasons because maybe Xavi can help him be more disciplined. But as far as I know, Barcelona probably won't talk about Neymar any more than just Messi. But if that happens, then I think Neymar will be better than staying in Paris in terms of performance.

It would be one of the best returns for sure. As you can remember, Barcelona's trio made of Messi, Neymar and Suarez were doing an insane job in the past. The goal and assist statistics of all of them were very impressive. Maybe they don't have Messi and Suarez but they can have Neymar back in the team which would increase their strength a great deal. It would be better for Neymar than staying at PSG I think. Because PSG still can't win the CL title with a lineup like this. It would be better for Neymar to lead the new generation at Barcelona.

For some reason it's not working at PSG at the moment. They also have great players in defense and midfield, but as a team it just doesn't work. Erik Ten Hag would be an excellent trainer for this team, maybe Tuchel is just not good enough as a trainer. Has done well at Chelsea but that could also be a bit of luck. Maybe it is time to switch from trainer.

ya.ya.yo!

The poor performance displayed by PSG in the last few matches was enough to make all parties feel confused about Mario Pochettino's team, maybe one of the factors that caused them to fail to advance to the UCL quarter-finals after being defeated by Real Madrid, moreover Kylian mbappe was not comfortable being there.At PSG maybe Neymar and Lionel Messi will follow suit if until now they haven't made a squad reshuffle or sacked the coach, even though PSG are currently 12 points ahead of Marseille and it might be a bit impossible to catch up considering the game only has a few games left.

PSG are going to reach the championship in the Ligue 1 maybe. But this won't be satisfying enough for them surely too. Because they are already the king of this league now so it is no big deal for them. Their main goal was to win the Champions League this year but here we are. They were eliminated by Real Madrid in a really bad way. They couldn't even secure a big score advantage like 2-0 on aggregate. They must have made it to the title while they were having a this much quality lineup. So I think this is an unsuccessful season for them.

When you are spending 372 million euros per year on players, then you do want more than just winning the league. I mean Lille had like 30 million and still won last year, that should be proof enough, or last year PSG spent like 80+ million less and they could have still won, or previous years where they actually did.

So, winning Ligue 1, could be dominated with just like 150 million a year, they are spending more than twice that right now and you do not do that for just winning the league. It wouldn't even make financial sense if they won UCL, they would still be losing money in that case, but the owner wanted it so badly and spent extra amount. As we can see now, they lost that chance.

But the question is does Neymar want to get back to Barcelona and face a better competition instead of staying at PSG and getting a lot of money, that also having a lot less competition?

I think when it is put that way there is only one answer. but on the other hand, PSG will not be able to win the Champions League for sure but Barcelona is going to have a really good chance in the next season in my opinion. it would be great to see Neymar back in Barcelona.

It all depends on Neymar, if Neymar wants the Champions League trophy, it is clear that PSG will find it difficult to achieve this. While Xavi who
managed to make Barcelona's game improve rapidly, indeed have a greater chance of winning the Champions League trophy next season than PSG.
But if Neymar who is already 30 years old just wants to raise money, he will choose to stay at PSG. Because if Neymar decides to return to Barcelona,
it is clear that Neymar must be willing to reduce the salary he gets from PSG. We'll see what Neymar decides, although I really hope Neymar wants
to return to Barcelona, it would be a shame if Neymar ruined his career if he decided to stay at PSG. Because in my opinion Neymar made
the wrong decision when he moved to PSG, because with PSG Neymar's performance continues to decline.

For me, it honestly doesn't matter if there make mistakes or not because they are the ones who are going to win this League title.
the main target was Champions League but they could not achieve basically anything from that. it's really amazing even though they have a squad like no other in the whole world, they still managed to lose against Real Madrid somehow. I really don't have any expectations from them anymore. they can go ahead and lose the league title also for all I care.

[LUCKMCFLY]

I feel that PSG has lost interest in any kind of football this season. This is caused by their crash out of champions league. They really hoped for it this season. If not that they have lost interest or lost motivation, I don't see why Monaco should humiliate psg in that manner. What psg need is break after the season, sell some players that want to go and retain the ones that want to stay and then change the head coach and bring in new vision to the team. They can be lucky by next season.

I have also had that impression, it is something impressive that such a great team with the best players in the world finds itself in such a situation, and the most important thing is that Real Madrid lost by a landslide in their league against Barcelona, of course not Benzema was playing, but even so, these are the great surprises that football offers, with the exception that here Real Madrid advanced and PSG stayed.

In the French league I don't see it as complicated for PSG to go wrong, these falls are very normal in football they cannot be dropped for this, this is as you say, there is a lot of speculation and in this case the best thing is that Those who have to stay remain and let those who want to leave go.

In week 30 PSG will face Lorient, maybe this match will be a PSG revival, because in the previous three matches PSG have always reaped unsatisfactory results, on paper PSG is more superior, the leader of the standings facing a lower team will definitely be very easy to beat. PSG got three points, plus PSG played at home, I am also very sure that no other club will be able to shift PSG's place at the top of the standings.

criticism for all PSG player exactly with Neymar after failure on champion league and defeated by Real Madrid on 2nd leg make all PSG fans not happy actually with PSG Ultras fans ask crazy thing to Nasser Al-Khelaifi out from PSG. Looks realistic with how many time failure face by PSG on champion league and make fans looks not happy with PSG achievement on champion league although still have big chance as the champion on domestic league, but still not enough what achievement from PSG in this season and make all PSG fans want to get many trophies again.

PSG situation is really bad, although they are set to lift their Ligue 1 title. Fans are not happy with the team because they were confident that they would made it to the next rouns after winning real Madrid in the first leg of round 16. Later did they know that Benzema was an experience  high class striker, Benzema humiliated the full PSG that night with an hattrick in the period of 10minutes. What was shocking was that PSG key players like Messi, Neymar and Mbappe, and also their so called hype goal keeper Donnarumma was on the pitch. Let's say PSG has the required Funds and Assets but they can't compete in the champions league.

[CryptocurencyKing]

I've said this lots of times before, PSG defense is crap. As much as we can blame PSG strikers, we must also consider their defence that has costed them out of UCL and lost to Monaco, their defence is struggling. Kimpempe and Marquinhos communication with their Goalkeeper is poor to be honest. I think the defence needs reshuffle. PSG need to fix their defence, they got great forwards, Midfielders and goalies, but the defence is total crap, in literally every game, if it wasn't for Donnarumma and Keylor Navas doing miracles all the time, they would lose every game. Although they had more possession, completed more passes and had an equal number of shots in the match but couldn't find a way past Monaco.

I think is not with mistake from goalkeeper only but most depending how communication between two central defender Presnel Kimpembe and Marquinhos, I see both central defender player from PSG always make many time blunder actually when I watched match against with Real Madrid on 2nd leg champion league, I saw many time back pass to goalkeeper with bad situation and they have loss controlling without see how many Real Madrid player PSG defensive area, not only on champion league but also many time on domestic league PSG have loss many goal and last match 3 goals loss become bad result.

On the other hand they are also too focused in their attack but forget their own defense area. I don't think it's a good thing to keep blaming just one player in a match because when we talk about the game, it's all shared, not individually, even though they have their own duties on the field, but still their focus on defending must also be on the ground. fix it and that's the job of the defenders and their midfielders in midfield but they forget that because they're too busy attacking

Despite having one of the best squads in the world, PSG have not achieved their goals. They started the season brightly but have run out of steam in the last few months. It is obvious that there is lack of character and leadership in the squad. Everybody plays individually and neglects their defensive responsibility. Sometimes I ask myself, Are the players doing what Mauricio Pochettino asked them to do on the field? if the answer is YES, then he should re-visit his tactical board Sir. If at all they're doing their own antagonistics, then they have no respect for him. The team are not playing as a team they play individually their passing system not as same as other star studded teams. Everyone wants to become a hero on the field of play. They’re lucky there's a good distance from the team in the second spot.

After all, PSG will still play against Marseille in mid-April and they currently only have 9 matches left, so PSG will still be safely at the top. It's just that, as the strongest team in the league but in reality, PSG which has many star players did not have a great performance in the UCL yesterday. Also, his inconsistency in the league lately, at least makes the view of PSG not so good with everything he has and achieved in the league at the moment.

after the elimination of PSG from the UCL stage I don't think they are heartbroken anymore to spend the rest of the season, it's clearly seen with some bad games they played, that's why the fans were so angry that they shouted at them on the pitch especially Messi who couldn't contribute which is a lot for PSG.
but even so I think for the title this season of course they will definitely get it because to end this season there are only 9 games left and they are far ahead of their competitors in the current standings.

The season is almost over with PSG. They have matches to play and to achieve the championship in Ligue 1 but their mentality is not good after kicked out of Champions League by Real Madrid. Recent matches in Ligue 1 shows that their players don't have much fun, focus and energy while playing Ligue 1 matches.

Personally it is so hard for PSG to lose Ligue 1 in this season with the players they have and with the current big difference on the table. If they lose it, it will be recorded in Ligue 1 history as one of biggest shock. The biggest issue with PSG is what will happen after the end of this season, from players to coach position. Future of some key players will be put on the table, from Mbappe, Neymar, Messi to many players in defense system. They can not win Champions League if their defense system is fragile like now.

PSG's performance seems to be declining. even with so much money spent on their star players. As a result, they also lost to Madrid. after that the local league won against the most basic team in the table but lost 3-0 to Monaco.
already too sure to get a trophy, so assuming the results of the remaining matches today will not change the standings. PSG's consistency with so many star players is certainly questionable. If the reason is fatigue, I don't think PSG is a team that lacks good players.

Failure in the Champions League was actually not something they expected especially after they were 2 goals ahead of Real Madrid. It's a normal thing for a match and in spite of all that we have to admit that both teams have chances to go through but unfortunately it's only for one team.

However, PSG's current position at the top of Ligue 1 will not be shaken because the league only has 9 match left for them. PSG appearances have dropped in their last 5 matches where they have lost 3 times in 5 matches. This team is not as good as expected even when Messi is playing.

Against with Marseille on middle April I think is not only about 3 point how to make PSG not early as the champion of Ligue 1 but also as quite a prestigious match where we know how rivalry between PSG and Marseille. I see have potential for PSG get trophy than Marseille because left match PSG just have Marseille as heavy against team except Marseille still waiting by Rennes and Lyon on 9 match left, keep favorite for PSG for Ligue 1 tittle in this season although got bad perform on last several match before.

I feel that one reason for their sudden decline is the uncertainty whether Poch is staying or going, and unless that’s resolved I expect them to suffer few more shock defeats till the end of the season. Lastly PSG needs to trim their squad and only then will they start playing well, because currently their squad is too big and that’s clearly holding them back.
